Abstract
THIS is an excellent translation into French of the classical work of Dr. Munro on “The Lake Dwellings of Europe,” reviewed in NATURE, February 12, 1891. The French edition is not so extensive as the original work. It deals only with lake dwellings of the Stone age and of the Bronze age, the chapters relating to lake dwellings of the Iron age, to the terramara of North Italy, to the terpen of Holland, and to the crannogs of the British Isles being omitted. Several valuable additions have, however, been made to the French edition which make it a very complete, up-to-date compendium of the Stone and Bronze age lake dwellings of Europe. Among these additions we note a map of the lake dwellings surrounding the Alps prepared by M. Adrien de Mortillet, and a map of the lake dwellings of Lake Bienne discriminating between those of the Stone, Copper, Bronze, and Iron age.
